About this map

White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Eagle and Summit counties. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations like Chimney Rock and the high summits of Sheephorn Mtn and Meridian Peak. This area is dominated by the complex hydrology of the Gore Range, where numerous high-country water sources such as Soda Lakes, Slough Grass Lake, and Mahan Lake feed the drainages of Piney River and Sheephorn Cr.

Tracing the network of backroads and trails, such as Elliott Ridge Road and the Big Park Trl, reveals a landscape managed for both its natural resources and its watershed value. The presence of named springs like Piney Peak Spring and Mather Spring underscores the importance of water management in this high-altitude environment during the early 21st century. This map preserves the mid-century trail names and remote geographic identifiers used by the Forest Service for recreation and land management.
